I've noticed over the past year or 2 that these two have become the biggest talking points in the fandom. The other characters are still discussed sure, but almost all the big arguments, fan content, theories, etc all involve Sunset and Starlight nowadays. As someone who is neutral on them, how did it get this way? Is it just because they're new fresh faces or is there something else to them?

They are both well liked horses.
Many people do wanna see Sunset in the main show and Starlight has been pretty relevant as of late. So yeah, they are included when talking about the future of the franchise.
On here tho, they are mostly used for shitposting fuel.
>>
>>28994078
They both suck and caused a lot of drama before. The franchise would be better without these copy cat mary sue characters.
>>
>>28994089
Well I remember one thread that discussed how a performed but not evil Sunset would've handled Twilight's struggles if she was the main character. Just a few minutes someone put a nice video explaining Starlight's arc and why her redemption isn't as forced as people make it out to be. Keep in mind that I said fandom and not just /mlp/.

Don't forget I want Glimmer dead and
>sinks into fat and dies
>>
>>28994078
I wholeheartedly believe that Glimmer is shit
her colors are shit
her new mane is really, really shit
her backstory was shit
her "redemption" was shit
she was handled in S6 in the same manner as Twilight was in S4, "well what the fuck do we do with her now?"
she is Haber's "baby" (which should be grounds to hate her on the spot)
she was better as a one off villain

she had potential, but it went to shit once it was revealed that her colt friend got his CM (by saving her life) and she didn't get hers at that time
not to mention that it's standard that when a show that has gone on long enough to having to add a new "main" character to the cast, that's when it "jumps the shark" and needs to stop

hell, her not being in the FiM movie is proof enough to show that she was shoved up the show's ass to please someone (probably Haber) at Hasbro. she was never meant to be in S6

A lot of people also wanted to see Kirby on the show. Doesn't mean it's going to happen.

But Sunset doesn't even matter, she's just part of some offshoot series that doesn't affect the show.

t b h I don't care about Sunset. I don't care about EG so she is pretty much irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.
Now Glimmer on the other hand is much harder to ignore.

Tell me where is teh EqG references in the show. And I don't mean Flash the guard who played literally no role on the first movie other than appearing at the very end.
What actual real references are there to sunshit and the mirror world in canon?

Flash the guard doesn't canonize anything, my friend.
There's been zero references to Sunshit nor the mirror world in the show. It was even ignored in the Season 5 finale where it should've been shown if it was canon but it wasn't. The show ignores EqG because it's not canon.
>>
>>29003854
You're wrong and don't even know what canon is if you think EqG is canon
Even little girls know that EqG is canon
And references to it are still made in the show, but you clearly don't even watch it

Wewlad they just said Trixie likes PB crackers. That doesn't mean anything t b h.
If EqG is canon my man then why wasn't Sunset shown in the alternative timelines in the S5 finale? If it truly is canon like you said it is then it Sunset should've showed up since no one was there to stop here. But she didn't. Ergo not canon.

Appearing in the S5 finale says literally nothing about whether something is canon or not you dumb shit
Please tell me the logical leaps that you went through to reach that conclusion
>>
>>29003880
They did show her in the season finale. If you look real close she's in the last one where everything is dead as Sunset Satan. She mind controlled everyone to hang themselves. Then she went back to CHS and fucked Flash Sentry to death.

U wot m8
It tells us a lot more than some minor reference like some guard that didn't play a role or a reference to crackers. That doesn't canonize anything. All it tells us is there's a guard called flash and that Trixie like PB crackers.
On the other hand Sunshit not being shown in the finale signals that she is irrelevant trash to the show since if she was canon she should've showed up since she was a pretty big villian. It means that EqG storyline and characters are completely ignored by canon and should be considered non canon.
>>
>>28994078
It's because they've become the most controversial figures in the fandom. Some people want new characters to replace the old, other group feels they're stealing too much spotlight when they don't deserve it, compared to the other characters they're used to.

Honestly though, one is more than enough, the show has a problem creating too many Twiclones. And because of how many people love her, naturally these ones are going to be discussed as well.
>>
CLOP CLOP!!!

>>28994078
In my opinion I like these two characters. It adds a level of realism that is kind of expected from kids shows now a days. Now whether you like shows like Adventure Time , Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, you cant deny that they all tackle some stuff that for kids shows are pretty fucking heavy (Personally hate SU but thats neither here nor there). So I see Shim and Glim as a way to introduce the more heavy messages and tones that lets face it more than a small minority of the fandom want. Now how they do those things can be up to anyones opinion.
I personally love both characters since I've know people like them in my life time (obviously not to their extent) but people who have needed forgiveness or some sort of redemption. Again its up to personal opinion on whether or not those stories were told right.
I love them both

>>29010835
Assuming you got around to watching them, how did you like the EqGs?
>>
>>29010867
I quite liked them. The first three were a good trilogy and the fourth one while not really that good was ok imo.
